Morning Joe Diminuendo


  • During its first years on MSNBC, Morning Joe was a refreshing and interesting show. Joe was a reasonably fair-minded conservative, there were many interesting guests, and MSNBC’s policy of all ads all the time had not yet come into effect.

  • In the last few years, however, this show has become increasingly obnoxious. Joe’s views have hardened into Fox News wannabe land, and with it his incredible egotism and insistence on interrupting everyone has grown to intolerable proportions. His sidekick Mika plays the role of pathetic liberal (game but outgunned and outwitted) that Fox is so fond of, and most of the guests are simply repeaters who better toe Joe’s line or never appear again. When politicians come on, they are almost always Republicans spouting their dogma, and these are about the only guests that Joe does not always repeatedly interrupt with long and often irrelevant rants of his own. The constant advertising interruptions no longer seem so much irritations as relief.

  • This is now a worthless and actually meretricious show.
